Larkin Takes Stand Against Red Wings, Trade Frontrunner Revealed?

Detroit Red Wings captain Dylan Larkin will no longer play for the team until a trade is finalized. The decision comes from Larkin's camp to protect the asset and force a move after an unresolved trade request made in May. The Red Wings announced Larkin would sit out Thursday night against the Chicago Blackhawks, with interim GM Shawn Horcoff expected to address the fluid situation.

Larkin has compiled a list of 10 approved destinations, including Carolina, Colorado, Dallas, Florida, Minnesota, New Jersey, Tampa Bay, Utah, Vegas, and Washington. Jordan Schmaltz reported hearing that Larkin could be heading to the New Jersey Devils, while Detroit reportedly seeks a top-six forward and significant future assets in any permanent trade return.
